givemeasmile Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Who else has got a copy?I love it, Carnival Time is a personal highlight.What do you think of it? In my opinion it's better than In the Cold Wind We Smile, which itself is phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Who else has got a copy?I love it, Carnival Time is a personal highlight.What do you think of it? In my opinion it's better than In the Cold Wind We Smile, which itself is phenomenal.It's fucking ace. Listening to the singles, I thought "It's not as much as a departure as everyone is making it out to be" but the album really is quite angular and different.Amazing last night, too.Only problem is, theres one song, think it is the song Scatterbrain, which pretty ruthlessly rips off Brand News song "Vices". I mean, it's almost literally the same song.That blemish won't diminish my undying love for this band however. Amazing group, great album, top blokes.

stevealex35 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I really love this record. It's really cohesive; all the songs and artwork gel together to make a perfect second album! Like givemeasmile said, I enjoyed Cold Wind, but Scatterbrain just blows it out of the water. Also, amazing rythm section throughout!The guys performed the new stuff flawelessly over the last couple of nights when we played with them; with Scatterbrain and Slackerpop both standing out as being belters!! Love the way their guitar tones on the record are so natural to what they play live. Awesome guitar sounds and bass fuzz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 From what I've heard of the record their sound is hella tight.Murray's live guitar tone was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Second listen definitely works in the record's favour. Wasn't too enamored with it first time round, felt it was over-produced and a bit wanky. After a couple of listens I now think it's great. Songs are very strong, a definite 'matureness' (for want of a better word) to it when compared to In the Cold Wind.... Scatterbrain plays like a complete album, where at times Cold Wind felt a bit like single after single after single.It's very dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanette Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 The more I listen to it the better it gets.On my first listen I struggled not to hear the Brand New influence but now that's gone and is replaced by the wonderfulness of The Xcerts.

grapeape Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 i love this album, i think its much better than the first one, as was said above the first sounded a bit like a collection of singles, whereas this is more of a flowing album, i love scaterbrain, slackerpop and carnival time.
